The TASCAM DR-05XP portable handheld recorder makes it easy to capture pro-quality recordings for music, audio-for-video, meetings, dictation, and more. With 32-bit float recording mode, you'll never need to worry about setting audio levels. With easy one-handed operation, the DR-05XP makes it simple to start recording with minimal setup time.

Capture Pro-Level Recordings Every Time

With its 32-bit float recording mode, the DR-05XP ensures your audio recordings will always be clear, distinct, and free of distortion that could ruin your recording — and you'll never need to worry about setting input levels.
Recording modes include 32-bit float / 24-bit / 16-bit, 96kHz / 48kHz / 44.1kHz and MP3.

Built-in Condenser Microphones

The DR-05XP features omnidirectional condenser microphones that can withstand high sound pressure levels (up to 125dB SPL), reducing the risk of mic distortion even in loud environments.

Simplicity in Your Palm

With the DR-05XP, the complexities of audio recording are a thing of the past. Easily access every feature from the palm of your hand. Plus, the backlit LCD screen means no squinting; just clear and concise navigation any time of day, in any environment.

Your Portable Recording Studio

The DR-05XP isn't only a powerful portable recorder — it's also a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface you can use to record anywhere, directly to audio recording software on your Mac or PC.
